A bit strange shot. I know it. But I like how colours appears in the end :) Was the helmet and gloves used by Fernando Alonso with Ferrari in 2011
I bought this cool helmet on a medieval fair. I need to polish it and fix some things, but I really love it! It's so perfect for Rhys <3.
Today I did some more work on this drawing, a pencil sketch that I started two days ago. I am doing this sketch to prepare to paint a double portrait of this couple. I will be using acrylics on canvas, and my reference is a vacation photo of the couple riding a motor bike during a trip to Greece, which is the reason for the helmets and sunglasses. This afternoon I made some changes to the faces but I also concentrated on the figure drawing aspect of this project, working out the placement and position of shoulders, necks, and heads. I also worked on the helmets, as well, trying to capture the distance between the two people. So this is the pencil sketch as it looked when I stopped working today, but I can already see some things I want to fix.
Model: Samurai Helmet Beetle 2.1
Designer: Satoshi Kamiya
Paper: 17" Square
This model was folded from diagrams. I improvised most of the folds towards the end of the diagrams instead of following the diagrams literally.
This Viking's helmet (aka NGC 2359) is an emission nebula about 15,000 light-years away in the Canis Major constellation. It's roughly 30 light years across, and its bow-shock shape is fueled by a Wolf-Rayet star in the center of the nebula. (Wolf-Rayet stars are uber-hot giant stars, assumed to be pre-supernova.)
This is a bi-colour image; that is, composed of only 2 channels of data. Hydrogen alpha (100 minutes) for Red, Oxygen III (100 minutes) for Blue, and a 50-50 blend of each substituted for the Green channel.
It has been cropped about 30%.
Captured on Feb 4 and Feb 8 2011 from my backyard in downtown Toronto, Canada. Scope = TMB 130 SS, Camera = STL11000M, 5x20 minute exposures for each channel, through baader filters.

I drilled a hole vertically through the top (vertex) of the helmet and passed a bolt and washers through. Next I attached a 2m length of 21.5 mm PVC pipe using the bolt as a fulcrum. The camera (a Canon Powershot S100) was mounted on the longer end and was counterweighted with big nuts & bolts on the shorter end.
As my Powershot has no wireless remote, I had to pass a 5m USB lead throught the pipe and use a USB Battery charger as a shutter release (activated in the CHDK firmware hack available on the Powershot).

A passerby read the sign for Cindy Kane's Helmet Project in a gallery at the Flatiron Building in Manhattan. The exhibit was "a tribute to the journalists who risk and sometimes lose their lives covering wars worldwide."
These are great, affordable, and better quality alternatives to the sluban helmets, making them invaluable to people who just started amassing a U.S. army.
The shaping is very true to the original, with gradual curves and a smooth brim. The texturing really increases the accuracy of these helmets, as well as getting
rid of the irritating shininess found in the sluban M1s. Something I was not expecting when I first played around with these was that they can hold goggles, just
like the Stahlhelm. This detail shows how much effort Will put into these, and it really shows. With access to cheap, high quality M1 helmets, I can start to amass
a U.S. army to rival Phima's ;)
